Functional footwear

Abstract

Provided is functional footwear that restrains bad smell and the propagation of germs due to long-time usage of the footwear while maintaining a correct posture of a wearer by cushioning impact applied to feet and distributing pressure. The functional footwear includes a first groove formed in a length direction at a predetermined portion of a midsole, a second groove formed in a width direction of the midsole to be connected with the first groove, a recess formed inside the second groove and perfume emitting materials or antibacterial materials inserted into the recess.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to functional footwear, and more particularly, to functional footwear that restrains bad smell and the propagation of germs due to long-time usage of the footwear while maintaining a correct posture of a wearer by cushioning impact applied to feet and distributing pressure.BACKGROUND ART[0002]People spend a very long time while depending on their two feet. According to statistics, an average distance that a man having a normal life span walks in all his life is 160,000 Km and the number of times that his feet step on the ground is about 100 million. Since a large number of capillaries are concentrated in feet, the pressure that the feet receive while walking helps that blood goes up to the heart. The force that the feet receive during walking is 3 to 4 times of his weight. When he walks a distance of about 1 Km, the feet receive the pressure of about 2 to 3 large trucks, i.e., 10 t to 15 t. A pulse rate is 70 times / sec in a stable s...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0010]According to the present invention, when an insole is located on a midsole after forming a plurality of air passages in the midsole included in footwear and locating a functional material having a perfume emitting or antibacterial effect in the air passages, a bad smell generated in the footwear while using the footwear is prevented and germs growing in the footwear are restrained or sterilized. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent bacillary foot diseases.

Problems solved by technology

People spend a very long time while depending on their two feet.

However, incorrect walking may cause a disease in feet and knees or modify a body shape by affecting backbone to lead to diverse disorders in body functions.

However, the footwear for Masai Walking generates diverse problems in use like conventional footwear.

One of the problems is generation of bad smell caused by long-term use and diseases in feet such as athlete's foot caused by the bad smell.

However, since the insole of the foot is frequently washed, the perfume emitting materials or the antibacterial materials coated or contained in the insole gradually disappear and the insole ultimately loses the perfume emitting or antibacterial function.
